AT-3Role-based Training
Provide role-based security and privacy training to personnel with the following roles and responsibilities: {{ insert: param, at-3_prm_1 }}: Before authorizing access to the system, information, or performing assigned duties, and {{ insert: param, at-03_odp.03 }} thereafter; and When required by system changes; Update role-based training content {{ insert: param, at-03_odp.04 }} and following {{ insert: param, at-03_odp.05 }} ; and Incorporate lessons learned from internal or external security incidents or breaches into role-based training.

Weaknesses this control addresses (10)AI-assisted
CWEs ranked by how often they appear in real CVEs. The rationale describes how this control reduces exploitability of each weakness class.
| CWE | Name | CVEs | Why this control addresses it |
|---|---|---|---|
CWE-284 | Improper Access Control | 6,900+ | Security training teaches access control policies and enforcement, reducing improper access control implementations. |
CWE-287 | Improper Authentication | 5,200+ | Training on authentication mechanisms and best practices decreases the occurrence of improper authentication. |
CWE-269 | Improper Privilege Management | 3,400+ | Training covers proper privilege management practices, making incorrect privilege assignments less likely. |
CWE-798 | Use of Hard-coded Credentials | 2,000+ | Security training explicitly warns against hard-coded credentials, lowering their use in systems. |
CWE-732 | Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource | 1,900+ | Training on permission management reduces incorrect permission assignments for critical resources. |
CWE-285 | Improper Authorization | 1,500+ | Role-based training addresses authorization requirements and checks, lowering the risk of improper authorization. |
CWE-319 | Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information | 1,000+ | Role-based training covers secure transmission methods, mitigating cleartext transmission of sensitive data. |
CWE-312 | Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information | 900+ | Training on secure data handling discourages cleartext storage of sensitive information. |
CWE-311 | Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data | 500+ | Privacy and security training stresses encryption of sensitive data, reducing missing encryption weaknesses. |
CWE-250 | Execution with Unnecessary Privileges | 300+ | Role-based training on least privilege principles reduces the chance personnel assign or retain unnecessary privileges. |
